Até 2007, José Neves manteve em paralelo dois negócios: uma marca de calçado e uma empresa de software. Percebia dos dois ramos, mas não tinha vantagem competitiva em nenhum: como designer de calçado ou programador nunca seria o melhor do mundo. No entanto, e como viria a confessar, “se juntasse as duas coisas, talvez...” Acabou por fundir os dois conceitos na Farfetch. E ao lançar uma plataforma para a moda de luxo, criou o primeiro unicórnio português: um negócio que em 2015 foi avaliado em mais de mil milhões de dólares.

Globalization and Agriculture: Redefining Unequal Development focuses on the development of national agriculture of nine countries in Latin America, Africa, and Asia from two different and complementary angles. One angle is the opportunities created by globalization for agricultural production and how the countries have dealt with the expansion of the world, as a consequence of the world market. The other angle is the social and economic consequences of globalization for agricultural and rural development. The case studies included in this book prove that the contradictory meanings referred above are indeed representative of different facets and features of globalization.
On December 20, 1999, the city of Macau became a Special Administrative Region of China after nearly four hundred and fifty years of Portuguese administration. Drawing extensively on Portuguese and other sources and on interviews with key participants, this book examines the strategies and policies adopted by the Portuguese government during the negotiations. The study sets these events within the larger context of Portugal's retreat from empire, the British experience with Hong Kong, and changing social and political conditions within Macau. A weak player on the international stage, Portugal was still able to obtain concessions during the negotiations, notably in the timing of the retrocession and continuing Portuguese nationality arrangements for some Macau citizens. Yet the tendency of Portuguese leaders to use the Macau question as a tool in their domestic political agendas hampered their ability to develop an effective strategy and left China with the freedom to control the process of negotiation.
